Strategically located directly across from the transformative Emerald Acres Sports Connection, this site stands at the epicenter of Mattoon's most dynamic growth zone. The $100 million, 150-acre sports tourism development is expected to attract over 580,000 annual visitors through its state-of-the-art indoor fieldhouse, 32 outdoor sports fields, and large-scale event spaces. The subject property's position at the northern gateway to Emerald Acres-alongside the planned retail and hospitality district known as The Shops at Emerald Acres-ensures strong demand from both local residents and regional event traffic. The broader area includes long-established anchors such as Cross County Mall, Lake Land College, and major employers like Rural King, Mars Petcare, and Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center, reinforcing the site's appeal as a destination for dining, shopping, and logistics services within a 30-mile trade radius and a multi-state tourism draw.
